It’s the second BAF Weekly IT List of October! Where has the time gone? We are well into the fall season, which means everyone is wearing their fabulous new fall looks! To ensure a total fall look, we all need what’s hot right now; which happen to be fashion items on the practical side.

Nail polish is easiest way to your look, and stay ahead of the season. Chanel’s fall nail polish, and holiday nail polish, are hotter than hot right now. You can go with fall’s more traditional look, or a festive holiday look. either way, your nails will be amazing.

Early bird holiday shopping has begun! If you are looking for a great gift for her, or for yourself, this cozy scarf is a great choice.

October is breast cancer awareness month. I love all the products out there which can either help raise awareness, or directly raise funds for research; or both! Be sure to check out my full post, or indulge in this cute pink, breast cancer tee!

The Givenchy Antigona continues to prove to be a popular workhorse, and IT bag. It’s a great everyday bag which can be worn casually, or for work. Be sure to check out my recent post about it’s ten year anniversary!

Lug soles are a hot trend right now in shoes. These fabulous boots have already sold in black at some stores, but I found them in stock for you! These boots are popular because they reflect the current fall 2020 shoe trends, as well as offer a lug sole; which is great in the snow. They also happen to be water resistant, and very comfortable. Love that!

What are loving this week for the fall season?

Thanks for stopping by!

BAF Weekly IT List

popular fall shoes

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: blue sweater (avl in other colors too) / vanilla honey body butter / fall nail polish / square toe pump / soft grey satchel /

The weekly IT list is here! This week, temperatures in some parts of the country have started to cool off, so stocking up on cozier clothing, such as sweaters, is a must! This fabulous blue sweater is perfect for everyday wear; and it has a classic, slouchy silhouette. I love mine in blue, but there are other colors available too.

As temperatures start to cool down, I love indulging in warmer fragrances. This honey vanilla body butter has a warm gourmand scent which is perfect for the fall season. It has just the right combination of comfort and warmth; of course, the body butter itself is amazingly moisturizing. Love it!

Of course, are you really dressed without fabulous nails? Nope! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to snap up this beautiful fall nail polish from Chanel for the fall season. It’s a deep red you can wear now and throughout the holiday season. Love!

These square toe, stamped croc pumps are amazing! Stamped croc is a huge footwear trend this fall season, and so is the square toe! Not only that, these pumps are actually walkable and comfortable. I love mine. Plus, they are under $200. Whaaa-aaat?! Yes, they are all that, and they are just plain fabulous.

I am still planning on purchasing this grey slouchy satchel from Givenchy. It’s the newest incarnation of the design house’s popular and classic Antigona collection. Hopefully Santa will bring it to me this holiday season! If you are looking for a fabulous bag you can wear casually and everyday, this is the current IT bag you need now. It also happens to be a great investment purchase, so you don’t have to feel like it’s a one season deal. Love that!

fall 2020 fashion

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: blue sweater / fall nail polish / blue jam jar (on major sale!) / loafer slides (under $150) / bucket bag /

The BAF Weekly IT List is here! This week was the first official week of fall, and I am here for it! The nights are a little bit cooler, pumpkin spice everything is on store shelves, and we can all walk around in our fall clothing without feeling out of season. Loving fall! Now, if temperatures can just stay low, and NOT go into the 90’s next week as predicted, the beginning of fall would be perfect. Fingers crossed!

Now, let’s chat about this week’s five IT items! This blue sweater is absolutely amazing. I am waiting for cooler weather so I can wear mine all the time. It comes in other colors too; so pretty! It’s the perfect go-to pull-over for fall. Love!

None of us can get enough of these classic loafer slides for fall. This pair is priced under $150, so if you haven’t picked up a pair yet, what are you waiting for? Snap them up now!

If you haven’t updated your nails for the fall season, do it now! This is my favorite nail polish hue of the season, and it’s a classic! You can wear it now and well into the holiday season. Love that!

Are you a Fiestaware fan? I recently became one. This cute little square jam jar is a limited edition Fiestaware piece, and it’s on major sale right now! Snap one up in your choice of color ASAP before they are gone! This would also make a great holiday gift if you have a Fiestaware fan, or colorful housewares fan, on your list. Can’t beat that price! I snapped one up in Turquoise, Lapis, and Mulberry. Love!

Lastly, this classic bucket bag is a must-have IT bag. If you don’t already own one, now is a great time to invest in one to wear now and forever. I love mine! It’s a total workhorse bag I can stuff multiple water bottles inside, as well as an entire cardigan sweater. It’s roomier than it appears; and very strong!!! Perfect when you have kids like me, or just need to carry a lot of stuff around.

Pouch Clutch | Designer or Deal?

Pouch Clutch at three price points, from top: Designer IT Bag / IT brand pouch clutch priced under $1000 (this is the one I own and I love it!) / affordable pouch clutch priced under $70 /

Thank you for all the great feedback last week on my new weekly series, designer or deal! This week I thought we would talk about the pouch clutch, which is a hot IT bag right now. There are so many versions out there, it’s hard to pick the right one! So, I thought I would show you the three best versions of the trend.

Of course, you can go for the pouch clutch that started it all; the Bottega Veneta pouch priced just under $3000. There is also the moderately priced version from Mansur Gavriel priced well under $1000. This clutch also has IT bag status on the street, so you can’t go wrong saving a few bucks with this one! I own the black with flamma interior version and I love it. It’s very comfortable to carry around, and it is quite roomy! Love that! Lastly, you can get a ton of bang for your buck with this pouch clutch priced under $70. It’s a great deal; especially if you want to rock the pouch clutch trend but don’t think you’ll wear it often. This is a great choice for occasional use.

What is your favorite item from the IT list? Will you rock a pouch clutch this season?
